I think - I want to feel good and not be uncomfortable! I also constantly tell myself I don't want to be FAT. Motivate yourself with your own inspirations and desires? Good luck and keep going!

There is more and more info coming out about this all the time. Don't know if you live in the Uk or not but there have been a few programmes about it on the BBC etc. Apparently it can be quite good for you and has many benefits.

Another Brit here too, lovely Sheffield where there are 7 hills to contend with : )
